FireMe - Who wants to get fired?
- goloxc 14y agohell ya
- lucb1e 14y agoSimilarly: http://www.weknowwhatyouredoing.com http://www.weknowwhatyouredoing.com
- Confusion 14y agoQuite a few false positives in there though.
- nsxwolf 14y agoCase in point, under "Who wants to get fired?" "Really stinks not having car. I hate putting others out of the way to help. So my boss is driving out here to Tim buck two to get me work and get me home if car not fixed. But at least get to go. So I am thankful for that."
- coob 14y agoMy favourite under 'Who wants to get fired': > Les Lesboss P. > I fucking hate the boss i wish Bruce springsteen had of gone the way of bon scott,Kurt cobain or Jimi Hendrix. But at least they had talent and i wouldn't be hearing his shit on mmm right now
- deefour 14y agoAnd (the now defunct) http://pleaserobme.com/ http://pleaserobme.com/ from a couple years ago.
- canadev 14y agoMan... the inability of these people to form a proper sentence saddens and scares me.
- shurcooL 14y agoThere's also a bot that retweets people posting photos of their new credit cards.
- alenart 14y ago1% chance of being fired! File that under winning.
- zozu 14y ago2% here. I feel the hot breath of my boss in my neck already.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- lhnz 14y agoWhy do I feel like I'm participating in a web developer's slave morality? Let's hope that these people quit their jobs to lead more meaningful existences.
- brador 14y agoCould a project like this ever come under libel laws?
- bradwestness 14y agoI don't see how, given that the content is knowingly provided for public consumption by the individuals
- hp50g 14y agoGive people a platform for their voyeuristic, narcissistic ramblings and they will hang themselves through ignorance. If you write it on the Internet, be polite and respectful or anonymous!
- moron4hire 14y agoGetting fired from my last real job, over a year ago, was one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. Haven't starved yet!
- namenotrequired 14y agoDid you go freelance? :)
- moron4hire 14y agoYep, and it pays well enough that I even get to take large amounts of time off. I basically keep a teacher's yearly schedule, having fun all summer, working through the spring, fall, and winter, making as much as when I had a boss breathing down my neck. I lost 20lbs and found the woman I'm going to marry. And I've been completely debt free for the last 3 months. It's been amazing.
- namenotrequired 14y agoSounds good - do your clients breathe down your neck less than managers?
- mikeash 14y agoNot the guy you're replying to, but my experience is that the ability to either say "no" or "yes, but that will cost more" makes crazy random demands really tolerable.
- moron4hire 14y agoThey try sometimes, and then I tell them that I'm not going to do what they want but what they need. The lack of debt thing makes it really easy to be up front with clients, which somewhat ironically makes it less likely any issues will grow to the point that one or both halves of the relationship end up disgruntled.

- andrewcooke 14y agofor those that don't want to go through disabling disconnect, ghostery etc just to see what it is (and it's not worth it) - it searches for tweets from people saying that they hate their job and displays them.
- belorn 14y agoIt searches for the exact string "I hate my job", thus giving some lovely false positives in "I hate my job... Not!".
- rohansingh 14y agoI really don't get the point. Sure, these tweets are ostensibly public to start with. We all know that. So why this passive-aggressive approach to things, with a quote at the bottom saying, "So don't blame me, instead get responsible"? Perhaps whoever posted these tweets doesn't care? Maybe they've already done the math on the chance of discovery? Maybe they are posting anonymously? This isn't even the first time we've seen a compilation like this, so it's not like it's novel or anything. Seriously, what's the point?
- bobsy 14y agoTo be honest the name of the site could be flipped to hire me. "Save people from jobs they hate."
- toddrew 14y agoWho would want to hire someone who makes negative public statements about their job?
- johnward 14y agoWhat kind of asshole would hold that against someone?
- toddrew 14y agoReally? I would. If I was considering hiring someone, and checked out their social streams and saw a lot of negativity directed towards their boss and job, I would only assume that's what I would be getting as well. They would never get the job. Same goes for high amounts of general non-work-related negativity in their streams as well.
- shurcooL 14y agoI talked with a girl recently and she was surprised to find out that her tweets are public (and tweets from people she follows). I was surprised to find out she didn't know that. This makes me think maybe there are many more people than we expect who don't know this.
- zshprompt 14y agothere are a lot of bots on there
- aspensmonster 14y agoIf an employer has to spend his time troweling his employees' social networking accounts to find out which ones don't like their job, he's doing it wrong.
- kerbs 14y agoSimilar to, but not nearly as damaging as @NeedADebitCard https://twitter.com/NeedADebitCard https://twitter.com/NeedADebitCard
- shurcooL 14y agoThis is cool, but I'd really like to see something like this for YouTube comments. That would really help get their quality up.
- idealform01 14y agopost how much you hate your job, your company will find out and make your wish come true :P
